Easement 701510

Comparing v969 (2026-02-26) → v1046 (2026-07-17)

Implemented by South Western Railway (SW)

Human-readable text

Journey Planners are denying journeys from Swanwick to Stations between Peterborough, Alnmouth and beyond. The journeys are denied because the NFM64 fares check reveals that tickets were more expensive from Southampton than from Swanwick. As a result, journeys via Southampton are denied. This positive map easement will override the fares check and allow the journey. This easement will operate in both directions of travel.
